M: You"d better hear what project it is about first.Myfriend is working with the red fox population.

usual and need more food, they begin to hunt in the farm which borders the national park. As a

M: Yes, and it"s caused a lot of controversy. Some of the farmers even want to destroy the red

foxes.

W: That"s awful. Have they made much progress with the research?

M: So far, they have been collecting tissue samples from dead foxes to see if the bacteria

are present.

population.

A.A system of satellites orbiting the earth twice a day.

B.A system of information transmitted from satellites.

C.A system of satellites and receivers giving precise location. √

D.A system of portable devices installed in vehicles.

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

GPS stands for the Global Positioning System. It refers to a system of satellites and receivers

that allows people and devices to detect their precise location on the earth. The heart of the

system relies on 24 satellites that orbit the earth twice per day. Devices that are equipped with GPSequipment receive transmissions from at least a few of the satellites and are able to collect very precise positioning data. The first GPS satellite was launched in 1974 and the 24th was

launched in 1994. The system is operated by the United States Department of Defense and the use

of the system is free for anyone. New satellites are periodically launched to replace aging ones. As the technology has improved, the cost of GPS devices has greatly declined while the accuracy

has increased. Small portable GPS receivers have become very affordable, and the accuracy is

amazing. Accuracy varies based on various factors, but it can be as good as a few meters! Land

based supplementary devices can be used to improve accuracy if higher precision is required. The application of the GPSis very broad, and as the prices come down the number of users is increasing.

Portable GPS devices are used by fishermen to help them sail around the wild. Many new cars

are being equipped with GPS systems to help drivers find directions. The military uses GPS to

guide cruise missiles to pre-specified targets.

What does GPS refer to?

A.The first GPS satellite was launched in 1947.

B.Old satellites will be replaced after five years.

C.It is operated by the United States Department of Defense.√

A.Changes from childhood to adulthood.

B.Measures to improve colleague relationships.

C.Methods to improve handwriting.√

D.The reasons why people"s handwriting is poor.

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

While some people seemed to be blessed with beautiful and expressive handwriting, others spend

their entire adult lives wondering why their handwriting resembles a child"s clumsy words.

Fortunately,there are many methods you can use to improve your handwriting.In today"s computer driven society, opportunities to practice and improve your handwriting are few and far between.

However, regular practice is the most important step to improve your handwriting. Learning to

write is similar to learning how to throw a baseball—you can"t expect perfect results on the

first try. To improve your handwriting, it is helpful to analyze your words to determine what

you like and don"t like about your lettering style. Compare your handwriting to the writing of

your friends, family, and co-workers to see how you measure up. Knowing what areas need improvement will make the process to improve your handwriting much easier. Proper technique is often the key to good handwriting.Research has found that many people who have poor handwriting form the letters with their fingers. They put the full weight of their hand on the paper, use the fingers to form

the letters,and pick the hand up repeatedly to move it across the paper. This results in a tight, narrow lettering style that is unable for others to make any sense. To improve your handwriting, let your shoulders and forearms do most of the work. Your fingers should only serve as the guides to forming your letters.

What is the main idea of this passage?

A.We need much practice to reach perfection.

√

B.We must start learning at our early years.

C.We can"t expect to be the best.

D.We must try with our full efforts.

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

B.People who live on fishing.

C.People who fish in small amounts.

D.People who fish in the salty sea waiter.

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

Some countries may have one uniform fishing law covering the entire country, while in the United States, each state determines its own fishing license policies. There are two main types of fishing licenses. Most people are familiar with the recreational fishing license. It is the one needed

simply to enjoy a day on the water with a fishing pole. The other type, the commercial fishing

license, is used by those who depend on fishing for their livelihood. As such, this license is

primarily used for salt water fishing. Some states may allow those under a certain age and over

a certain age to fish without a license. This is seen as a way to introduce young people to the

sport and give seniors a break. The age restrictions are very commonplace among all states, though exact ages may vary from location to location. Other exceptions to the fishing license requirements may also be in place. For example, some states say fishing waters located in one"s own county

does not require a fishing license. This is to allow those who wish to fish for food to do so

without the burdensome requirements of buying a license. In the United States, those fishing

bordering waters, or lakes and rivers between two states, usually will only need a fishing license in one state or the other. This is a good benefit. It does not matter which shore you are fishing; the license is just as valid.

In the United States, what kind of people needs a recreational fishing license?

A.To let them train young fishermen.

B.To introduce the sport to them.

C.To give them a chance of relaxation.√

D.To provide more communication for them.

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

Why do some states allow old people to fish without a license?

A.To increase their revenue taxes.

B.To encourage them to settle down.

C.To encourage them to fish for a living.

D.To save them the trouble of getting a license.√

解析： [ 听力原文 ]

What is the aim of not requiring a license for people fishing for food?

A.The fisherman doesn"t need a license at all.

B.The fisherman must be an America citizen.

C.The fisherman needs only one license from a state. √
